...have got anyone else into trouble, he certainly got into enough himself, suffering frequent bouts of venereal disease-including syphilis. Furthermore, Masters notes, Casanova sometimes refused to use condoms. After one of his mistresses, identified in his autobiography only as "M.M.," placed some in her boudoir as a hint, he brushed them aside, says Masters, "with a well-turned extemporaneous French verse...

Some executives are thinking about giving out more free samples, and sending them through the mails. One hint of things to come: Reynolds will underwrite its first big sports event, an $80,000 bowling tournament called the Winston-Salem Classic, which will be televised Feb. 20 by ABC. While non-tobacco firms will sponsor the show, the words "Winston" and "Salem" certainly will be mentioned. If other manufacturers pick...
